Fresh Media<\/a> is a group of Vancouverites who celebrate innovation and independent media. \u00a0A project of OpenMedia.ca<\/a>, their aim is to re-imagine and re-create what Canada\u2019s media-scape looks like. This past Monday, the team held their 6th ReMixology<\/a> event at the recently opened Vinegar Warehouse near Raymur and E Cordorva Street in Vancouver.\u00a0 ReMixiology is a series of events where media innovators and social change makers mix it up and look at ways to promote social change.\u00a0 Spacing Vancouver<\/em> was a proud media sponsor of the event.<\/p>\n

Edition #6 was of special interest to Spacing readers as it focused on \u201ctaking media to the street.\u201d\u00a0 The central theme of the evening was \u201cWhat happens when media in public space is remixed?\u201d\u00a0 The event looked at how both old AND new media tools can be used affect public space and generate conversations in order to promote critical thinking and civic engagement.<\/p>\n

The evening was moderated by Tyler Morgenstern<\/a>, a coordinator of Media Democracy Day<\/a>. Tyler opened the discussion by asking two provocative questions:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How does\/can media act IN a public space?<\/li>\n
  2. How does\/can media act AS a public space?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    He\u00a0then turned it over to the panel assembled for the event.<\/p>\n

    The first two panelists focused on creating community in real time and \u2018real space.\u2019 First up was\u00a0 Alexander Biko McNaughton who talked about his work in creating vibrant public spaces in Vancouver through crowd sourced public art and community gardening. Alexander touched on the intersection of the physical and virtual world when he mentioned Foodtree<\/a>.\u00a0 Foodtree is a Vancouver-based mobile app that helps users to understand where their food comes from, who produces it, and who handles it as it travels from its source to their plate.<\/p>\n

    Techie turned music promoter,\u00a0 David Mattatal was up next.\u00a0 David discussed his Zoo Zhop Record Store and Space<\/a>. The Zoo Zhop is also home to the Safe Amplification Site Society<\/a>\u2014a permanent all-ages space for music and other arts events in Vancouver.\u00a0 David noted that public performance spaces are important as they enable communities to share common experiences.<\/p>\n

    The second group of panelists talked about projects that bridged the physical and online worlds. Debra Zhou, the assistant curator at Centre A<\/a> discussed Map Sense<\/a>.\u00a0 Map Sense is a community-generated map that gives a multi-sensory view of a neighbourhood. The inaugural version focuses on Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside and Chinatown. Coined \u2018socio-experiential mapping,\u2019 the project features a mix of photograph, video, poetry and non-fiction entries.\u00a0 Each was contributed community members and described a specific place in their neighborhood.<\/p>\n

    Jenifer Paperer the curator at Vancouver\u2019s Contemporary Art Gallery<\/a> was up next.\u00a0 Jenifer was joined by Hannah Hughes.\u00a0 They discussed artist\u2019s Ron Tran\u2019s A Way to Go<\/a> project. Tran’s work explores new ways of looking at daily life and the nature of social exchanges.\u00a0 Part of the project is an interactive walking tour<\/a> of alternatives routes through the city. Tour participants use mobile devices to experience the artist observations along the route. In doing so, it transforms media from simply observing public space to being a public space in and of itself, addressing Tyler\u2019s framing questions.<\/p>\n

    Overall, ReMixology 6 was an engaging and thought-provoking evening. The panelists were passionate about contributing to our public space and encouraging dialogue in the community. While they each took a unique approach to how we use public space, they all promoted the need for both critical thinking and civic engagement.<\/p>\n

Each will give you new insights into Spacing\u2019s mission of \u00a0\u2018understanding the urban landscape<\/em>.\u2019 \u00a0And stay tuned for details of the next ReMixology event,\u00a0tentatively\u00a0scheduled for the fall.<\/p>\n
